Not so much news, unless you didn't know Darktide has released, but good fun

The Winterscale and House Visscher feud is in one of the RT splatbooks, and neither party involved is innocent, but for her it's personal. And since Winterscale allied himself with a rival of House Visscher afterwards he's got some people on his side aswell. Getting the Ordo Assassinorum to deal with it would be a possibility, but far less satisfactory for her. By the time thing has begun to move on Terra, Winterscale would likely be dead from old age, and the mans family has some clout himself. She tried to persuade me and my little ****ty transporter to torpedo his Grand Cruiser... It's likely that you'll get to know Winterscales Realm in the game yourself

Well, she'd have killed alot of other people aswell, since Winterscale very well knew that she was likely a smidge angry with her since he'd screwed over the Navigator house she was part of, he wouldn't have met with her by herself. If she'd managed to get that super expensive heretek "poison" into him she'd have been able to atleast have a bit of plausible deniability since anyone, in theory, that was at the banquet, had motive for murdering him.

Oh, I'd welcome it to be honest, we need more ridicule. Sweden that points fingers at people suddenly bending over and lubing up for Turkey and gobbling some Erdo**** (This message is approved by 76% of people in a recent survey). Oh, you're a journalist wanting to do deep investigative reporting? Be careful, we're changing our basic laws so that we can "protect ourselves from spies", so if your reporting might hurt relations, you just might get thrown in jail... Right wing extremists in governmental position, that are desperately trying to trip themselves up with some new **** coming to light every goddamn week, but so far the only thing that has caused their voters to lose confidence in them was that they didn't manage to lower the price of diesel by 10SEK. Oh, and my favourite? Sweden, the champion of the environment, is disbanding it's environmental department. Greta has apparently done too good a job, she made the environmental department redundant. Well done Greta! I don't remember off hand if it was before or after the election, but basically all the political parties in Sweden, except the left party, gave tips on how to anonymously donate money to the parties without leaving traces. Noone really cared. I couldn't agree more, humanitas delenda est.

Sure, I won't deny that, but atleast it's not as big a win if they can't get bought out.

Oh, I agree with you in that there are likely mostly real people there, there is no end to people looking for easy, comfortable and familiar "answers" to things. Remember that we have Swedish Democrats in here which are basically the same kind of people as Drumph, I come across supporters of them all the time on reddits Sweden page. They're embarrassing as ****, but atleast they are saying their **** in Swedish so that barely anyone can understand them. They read newspapers/forums that have the same kind of angle as faux news. I stopped laughing when Swedish democrats passed the 4% limit in Sweden, and actually got into politics proper. Jimmie Åkesson is far more scary to me than Drumph, not only because I'm not separated by an ocean from him, but because he's practically clean in peoples eyes. He doesn't come with the same outrageous claims as Drumph, and he can form coherent sentances, and he's great at playing the victim. His followers and cronies are embarrassing, but they usually get thrown out or hidden away for later to keep up the clean appearance, that they're "not racist/nazi anymore", and it ****ing works with people. I typically don't dismiss them off hand though, they usually make it clear to me that they dismiss me as a leftist dork before I leave people be, because I agree with you that it's dangerous to dismiss them straight off. We do have real problems here. Actually, come to think of it, something that scares me even more is how the Swedish Democrats have made it evident that our politicians are more than a little powerhungry and corrupt. And that people in many Swedish comments sections simply don't care, and that they want to become even more like the US. Betsy de Vos? Let me introduce Lotta Edholm, minister for schools, who so just happens to be a board member for a bunch of charter schools here. People don't really care though, atleast they can send their kids to a school where there are no icky brown people and they will get good grades in trade for a good rating of the school.

Monopolies are bad, first of all, and I'd rather see them burn than that ****ing asshat Kotick get a single cent. Blizzard died a long time ago.

https://www.eurogamer.net/ftc-suing-to-block-microsofts-69bn-activision-blizzard-acquisition Good. I hope FTC manages to block them, MS immediately proved themselves with Starfield being MS exclusive.

Hah, it takes me about 20 minutes to just describe how my Rogue Trader looks XD It's not so bad when you are starting out, but as you progress in a story it becomes practically ludicrous with the amount of details one accrues More seriously though, I have a hard time seeing that work well, so much of good Rogue Trader gaming is just the inbetween acting between the players so it's be incredibly messy or you'd have to take it in PM's which would lock out alot of the character progression from the other players

I'm not so certain anymore as to US sites blocking us from viewing comments because of GDPR asmuch as saving themselves the embarrASSment really

I would say that some of the most awesome moments we'ev had has been because of such clashes of wills and ambition, so I am generally hoping that Owlcat really doesn't shy away from actually playing things "straight" and having the other members actually be characters of their own will and motivation. I honestly hate playing always playing the Rogue Trader because I have to be the arbiter between different players and noone else seems to manage it with any grace nor iron fist. My favourite group has my previously described Rogue Trader who was actually straight laced purist Creedo Omnissaiah, an Astropath that has a hobby of enslaving Daemons, an Navigator that wants to end the Winterscale dynasty(And was close to assassinate him while I was meeting with him /fume ) and also sort of deals with daemons, my Seneschal First officer that turned mutant at a party and later led an insurrection against me with my characters brother and was offed, my Enginseer Prime that kept trying to implement xenotech into my ship against my will before he got killed in a boarding action, my master-at-arms that got a bit rustled by a warp-passage and decided to lead a rebellion against me (Not killed because he was obviously temporarily not sound of mind). The missionary was extremely unlucky with his dice rolls, he wasn't going to try my Rogue Trader but the crew thought so. It's the Rogue Trader player that has to keep the group working despite their differences, with some help from the GM. Missionaries are also great Master of Whispers I should add, they're quite socially capable and a great asset Thats one way to play them, sure, but it's quite possible to play with antagonistic groups aswell, done right it is great fun Leading a group of backstabbing bastards to glory is quite rewarding

Never change Florida man, never change

To be fair, I can't see anything either, though I do block alot of **** aswell. But generally alot of stuff is actually blocked from this side of the pond because of our GDPR laws and similar. Y'all yanks don't like to mess with that

To be fair, I'm cranky about it looking to be immensly tanky because they are revamping the tabletop rules into entirely their own thing, and I hate it. A character taking 4 shots from a plasma pistol is just silly. "I did not jettison the missionary through the torpedo tubes because he accused me of letting the crew worship me as Him upon the Throne, he was just filled with such eagerness and righteous fervor that he climbed onto the front of the boarding torpedo instead of into it because he said the Emperor would protect him against the Void so he could be the first to slay some foul Xenos." Though the crew very much did worship my Rogue Trader as the Emperor, building a shrine up to the bridge where my character sat connected to his archaeotech mind impulse control chair, because of the missionary constantly failing his social tests with the crew enough times that they started thinking my Rogue Trader that has always managed to save the crew personally, in the nick of time and miraculously survive sacrificing himself time and time again thanks to being more cybernetic than human, and a badass, really was the Emperor. My character was completely clueless to what they were doing though because he was raised on a Forge world and didn't have any idea how the emperor was worshipped. Nor did he ever find out that the crew strapped the missionary onto the torpedo because he was going to have my Rogue Trader tried as a heretic. Good times That said, it was actually the only time a Rogue Trader group had any real problem with a missionary, the other times they had been generally well regarded, I think you've just had bad luck

It'd be heresy if they didn't. That said, already looking pretty heretical to me.

First, levels should be called "rank" atleast to pay homage to the OG game. I'm not liking what seems like the wound("HP") count, the most I've seen in a real game was 28, at the highest possible rank. It makes me think things are going to be spongy. It's hard to say though since we know nothing about the gear, but if they bother with even a small fraction of what is actually available to use, and if they stay relatively close to what damages are in the base game, it's going to be tanky as ****. Though I do like the veil idea. Edit; Seems he has a couple of more videos I really dislike how they've "adapted" the rules from the tabletop. I dislike Action Points, their armor absorption system seems overly convoluted compared to tabletop and they seem to have dropped the base d10 system for weapon damage. It's a shame, the ttrpg system was pretty well balanced though punishing if you did things like stand in the open.

I've got about 10C indoors, the only heat I'm using at the moment is me and my computer

Theoretically possible, but they'd be in their 50's at the very least. Also; I don't think an actual "Arctic Ranger" would call themselves that, that what we call civilian hunters. I reckon it's the same situation as with Marines/Soldiers/Sailors. Atleast it was when I spoke to one when I was young.

I'm honestly surprised someone claimed to be an "Arctic Ranger" from Sweden. They haven't been around since 2000.

I know I've posted it before, but I think it's time again, isn't it?

I wouldn't mind being an alpha/beta tester, but I'm not doing no work for free, much less paying for the "privilege".

Depends, I got my tetanus shot for free when I sliced up my hand, but shingles vaccine costs 135-165 dollars. Sauce. Well technically I paid 10$ for my tetanus shot, but it was an all inclusive kind of deal
